Rv taleRraph 70 the Dispatch.l

CHICAGO, October ia special from
Ishpeming, Mich, says; A terrible
epidemic Of typhoid-fever is raging in
the Iron Mountain village, On the Me-
nominee-River railway, one hundred
miles south Of here. There were 200
cases yesterday, and new cases were re-
ported every few minutes. Physicians
are working night and day, with help
from other towns. The deaths are nu-
merous. The authorities and physicians
are at loss to find from what cause the
epidemic comes. Poor water and de-
fectiye sewerage are generally blamed
A panic prevails and many are leaving
the place. The disease is very violent
and runs its course rapidly. The theory
that the disease is genuioe Aslatic
cholera, brought there by Italian labor
ers. has been advanced, but physicians
deny it. The condition at Iron Noun.
tain is serious and growing worse. II
the disease does not abate soon the VII
lace will have to call for help.

rants and settled on it. BY the decision
of the court these persons are dispos-

serious error has been made, and there
on is much excitement. Yesterday was,

but as the election occurs this year on the
second Tuesday in November instead
o. first (Which is very rarely the case).
the real last day of registration should
be next Tuesday according to law, and
therefore yesterdays registration Of
$1,000 is unquestionably illegal. The
Board of Elections when informed Of
the fact were dumbfounded, and had
nothing to say except to acknowledge
that each and every one Of them had
made mistake. The corporation coun-
sci has been requested to furnish n
